Rage Against the Machine demands that Limbaugh stop playing their music

[Bjorn Against]

While it seems more than a bit strange that Rush ever played Rage on his show to begin with apparently he did, but Tom Morello just sent a Tweet to Rush...

To Rush Limbaugh: Hey Jackass, stop using our music on your racist, misogynist, right wing clown show. Sincerely, Rage Against The Machine

1. Ok I'll admit it, my first thought was wtf was he playing there music for??

Then I realize with editing he could take their message out of context.

Excellent cease and desist by Morello!

3. Believe it or not Limbaugh used "Sleep Now in the Fire" as bumper music without comment

He obviously had no clue what the song was about because he just played it as the intro as he came back from his commercial breaks. Here is the video: http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/clips/2010/04/02/4091/limbaugh-20100402-rage.mov

4. I hope artists are paying attention to all the RW shithogs on AM radio

As part of my 'monitoring the opposition' project I've been listening to AM radio lately, and practically every one of those asspickles uses rock music as intro when they come back from commercial break. They seem especially fond of thrash metal.

5. i don't understand why he is playing that music in the first place

6. but then again didn't Rush get Elton John to sing at his birhtday or wedding ?

Rush is all about the money. that's why he "apologized" when it came down to the sponsers.

the republicans are so fucking stupid to not see through it.
